BadThad Bedrock of the Community United States 19964 Posts	Posted 07/16/2023 6:38 pm A lot of water spots and obverse field distractions. 64RD Lincoln Cent Lover! VERDI-CARE™ INVENTOR https://verdi.care/ Report this Post to the Staff

I personally don't think plating bubbles should no effect grading a coin since it is more of a adhesion issue and the coin was minted that way (my own opinion). Report this Post to the Staff

arby96 Pillar of the Community United States 2111 Posts	Posted 07/18/2023 2:01 pm Thank you Everyone for playing. Peetspockets55 had the best guess. He was spot on a couple of them. All the Coins are Graded PCGS MS66 Cheerios Cents. I think maybe two of them deserve that grade. The other two with the bubbling in the fields, I don't think they deserve a MS66. I have my thoughts on these grading companies and would love to share them. This is not the correct forum though. Again thanks for playing. Any additional thoughts or comments would be great.

panzaldi Bedrock of the Community United States 18687 Posts	Posted 07/19/2023 10:59 am apparently they dont deduct a whole lot for the spots. Report this Post to the Staff

PCGS is all over the place with memorial cents from 65-68, generally keeping the 67 & 68 numbers down intentionally. Lincoln Cent Lover!

Petespockets55 Pillar of the Community United States 5785 Posts	Posted 08/11/2023 09:59 am From what I understand, the milk spots will affect the eye appeal portion of the grade but not the strike portion. The eye appeal has less impact on the grade than the actual strike. Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups. We need to consume them regularly to thrive and grow.
